and report publicly. Under each Strategic Objective are a number of programmes which
are made up of a number of Work Areas.</p><p>The Department’s budgets for both Programmes
and the Work Areas that sit underneath each Programme, are kept under regular review
and are revised where necessary to reflect changes in the operating environment. As
such, the Department has not provided a further details of budget expenditure for
each Work Area as budgets and structure may change during the year.</p><p>The Department
notes that the level of budgeted expenditure detail provided in the Main Estimate

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the NHS
Long Term Plan implementation framework system support offer, what criteria will be
used to determine which areas receive transformation funding to develop, test and
deliver new approaches to care.

<p>It is for NHS England and NHS Improvement national and regional teams to determine
jointly the allocation approach, criteria and process for the distribution of transformation
funding to develop their five-year strategic plans.</p>

<p>The Government remains committed to achieving parity of esteem for staff working
in health and social care.</p><p>One of the ways we are doing this is to showcase
how rewarding and varied social care careers can be, with opportunities for progression
and professional development. That is one of the reasons why the Government launched
the ‘Every Day is Different’ national adult social care recruitment campaign. We are
making a bigger investment this year to build on the success and progress made last
year and a new campaign will be launched in the autumn.</p><p>We know that there is
more that we can do to support recruitment, retention and working conditions for social
care workers and we will set out our proposals in due course.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking
to ensure that people with experience of using adult social care are involved in the
design and provision of such services.

<p>Over the last four years, around 65% of service users were extremely or very satisfied
with their care and support in England and 84% of adult social care settings are rated
as good or outstanding (September 2019).</p><p>The Care Act 2014 recognises that everyone’s
needs for care and support are different, and these needs can be met in many different
ways. Whilst commissioning social care is a matter for local authorities who are best
placed to understand the needs of local people and communities, and how best to meet
them, people must be genuinely involved and influential throughout the care planning
process. They should be given every opportunity to take joint ownership of the development
of their care plan with the local authority, if they wish.</p>

<p>The Government will set out its plans to fix the crisis in social care once and
for all to give every older person the dignity and security that they deserve. We
will set out our proposals in due course.</p><p> </p>

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Blackwood
of North Oxford on 11 February (HL13173) which stated that the "Social Care Green
Paper remains a priority for this Government", how they define priority in this instance;
and what are the Department of Health and Social Care's other priorities.

<p>Building a sustainable care and support system where people understand their responsibilities
and can prepare for the future is a key priority for this Government. It is important
that people know that the care they receive will be to a high standard and will help
them maintain their independence and well-being.</p><p>The Department continues to
work closely on the Green Paper. Minsters meet regularly with officials and ensure
that other departments and key stakeholders are consulted regularly.</p><p>In line
with the Government’s planning and performance framework process, the Department’s
priorities are published online in the Single Departmental Plan.</p><p>The Department’s
priorities for 2018/19 are that we will:</p><p>- keep people healthy to support economic
productivity and sustainable public services;</p><p>- transform primary care, community,
and social care to keep people living more independent, healthier lives for longer
in their community;</p><p>- support the National Health Service to deliver high quality,
safe and sustainable hospital care and secure the right workforce;</p><p>- support
research and innovation to maximise health and economic productivity;</p><p>- ensure
accountability of the health and care system to Parliament and the taxpayer, and create
an efficient and effective Department;</p><p>- create value (reduced costs and growing
income) by promoting better awareness and adoption of good commercial practice across
the Department and our arm’s length bodies.</p><p>The Department’s 2019/20 Single
Departmental Plan will be published in due course in line with the usual processes.</p>
